The Culture Of Fear At Work

What is your work environment really like? Are you a leader who must inspire your team? Are you on a team with a leader who is inspiring… or a leader who needs be a lot better at it? Does your team really work well together or is it more like a Dilbert cartoon? Dr. Nick Morgan introduced me to Liane Davey. Davey is the author of the New York Times bestselling book, You First, and someone with a deep expertise in group dynamics, and how true change happens within the company. She is the Vice President of Knightsbridge Leadership Solutions. She enjoys rehabilitating toxic and dysfunctional teams, and is all about performance through team excellence. Her first book, Leadership Solutions, came out in 2007 (she was a co-author). Oh, and by the way, she’s a doctor in industrial/organizational psychology. We crack the nut open and dig deep into modern leadership with her. Enjoy the conversation…

Hi Mitch – just listened to this podcast… thanks for it! Excellent as always!
Anyways, part way through you mentioned your interest in scaling teams and it made me think of another recent podcast I just heard: “Scaling up Excellence” by Prof. Bob Sutton, in the Stanford Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders series – http://ecorner.stanford.edu/authorMaterialInfo.html?mid=3243
Prof Sutton goes through some great scaling case studies from a range of different tech companies… and he’s a really enjoyable speaker (in case you’re never heard him present).
Anyways, thought you might like it!
